Peru activity pack

From OLPC

Contents

Introduction

Starting with operating system Update.1 build 703, 'base software' design does not include any activities, however, it does include a simple mechanism for creating activities bundles for customization of activity and library collections.

Peru deployment

The OLPC Peru deployment (as of March'2008, estimated to be over 250,000) units will be deployed in Peru with the base system software and the following activities. Additional activities, of course, can be added on a school-by-school, classroom-by-classroom, or individual basis. The decision to preload so many activities is to ensure a broad coverage in light of the expectation of intermittent interact access in the initial phases of the deployment. (In addition to activities, a number of content bundles are being prepared: books, poetry, etc.)

In addition to the Journal, which is still part of the base system, approximately 40 activities will be preinstalled.
